The Google Doodle thread

Pretty good one today, with a side order of R&P at the end.

(Like many folks, I hardly every go to Google's home page, so I sometimes miss the doodles. This thread can be used as a beacon for when a good one pops up.)

Here is a link to the homepage. Happy Valentines Day gang!
A notice for those with speakers on, there is music

It was very cute. Reminded me of the early days when I was trying to woo my wife to be. Except for her having a cold heart. Was thinking of forwarding it to her but didn't want her to misinterpret that part of the song.

And now there can be one catch-all thread instead of multiple special threads for each one! Optimize, optimize.

I quite like today's doodle, a tribute to the inventor of the zipper.

I thought it was a tool so that geeks can practice undoing their prom date's dress.

Keeping in theme with their Olympic doodles they have a playable hurdles one up today. My best time so far is 16s. Can't go too crazy with the arrow keys, gotta keep the noise down or I might be noticed.

11.5s

Think I had 27 this morning, but I only played twice, before I got interrupted. Beat some co-workers though.

Awesome! Poor Redshirt.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Fri Sep 07, 2012 9:33 pm

I saved my red shirt. That is the best doodle ever. Wish I knew exactly what it was for. Is this when Star Trek started in 67? I should know this.

EDIT: AHhhhhhh 46th anniversary.

Their Halloween doofle is up. Interactive. Don't forget to scroll around and click on all the hotspots.

Brothers Grimm doodle is now up. Not sure if there are multiple ones to click through but mine was Little Red Riding Hood.

Nicolaus Copernicus 540th birthday today. Very nice animated artistic solar system doodle.

While not a doodle, Google does deserve some credit for their version of the Harlem Shake.

Am I the only person on the planet who doesn't know what the Harlem shake is?

You're like 16 - how is that possible? Check here and then go crazy.

They have a little adventure doodle right now celebrating the incident at Roswell.

I got a high score of 150 candies on today's Google 15th anniversary ("birthday") doodle. No idea if that's good or bad, played 4. Seems like you should be able to bust the pinata open though, the way it starts to fall apart.

Edit: 165. Going to quit now. I swear.
